my approach

From cake crumbs clinging to fingertips and lipstick smudges on glasses to rolling in the leaves or kicking off your boots, the experience is about embracing the perfectly imperfect moments that make your story yours. It’s not about posing or perfection; it’s about feeling.

You’ll move, laugh, and maybe get a little messy, and I’ll be there quietly documenting it all—the spontaneous bursts of joy, the tender touches, and the fleeting seconds you don’t even realize are magic. It’s about creating space for you to be fully present, fully yourself.

The Process

When you’re drawn to my work, it’s because you see yourself in it—the laughter, the quiet moments, the way light tells a story. When you book with me, you’re choosing more than a photographer; you’re inviting a friend and a cheerleader to capture your moments. After you inquire through my website, we’ll connect—by phone or email—to bring your vision to life. Together, we’ll customize a package that feels just right, and once your date is secured with a signed agreement and retainer, the excitement truly begins. I’ll be there every step of the way—sharing guides, checking in, and making sure you feel prepared and excited. After your session, I’ll send a sneak peek within 24 hours so you can relive the magic while waiting for your full gallery.

This is your story, beautifully told.






Frequently asked questions

Patience is key, but I promise it’s worth the wait!

You can see at the bottom of each service above, I state a general timeframe of when I can deliver your photos. I take my time to ensure each shot is beautifully edited and captures the essence of your special moments. In the meantime, I’ll keep you updated and excited with sneak peeks along the way!

When will we get our photos?

I’m based in the beautiful city of Charlottesville, VA, but my love for travel takes me far and wide. If you’re located beyond a 35-mile radius of Charlottesville, I’d love to chat about your needs and provide a straightforward quote for any additional travel.

And if you happen to be in a location I’ve been excited to explore, I’m happy to offer a discount on travel fees. I can’t wait to connect and capture some incredible moments together!

When will we get our photos?

To book your session and secure your date, I’ll need a signed contract and a non-refundable 30% retainer fee. This guarantees that your spot is reserved just for you! 

If either of these are not done, the session is not fully booked and could be reserved by another client.

Film photos add a unique, personalized touch to your session! We offer mini and wide Polaroids in both color and black & white, which are available for you to take home immediately after your session.

For 35mm film, the turnaround time is approximately 2-4 weeks, depending on the lab’s processing schedule. Each roll is professionally developed by a highly skilled, local film store located in downtown Charlottesville.

Branding photos are your secret weapon for making a lasting impression! Whether you're announcing a new brand, refreshing your personal or team headshots, or sharing your story with clients, these images are designed to speak directly to your audience. You can use them for social media posts, website updates, marketing materials, and so much more.

But here's the exciting part: branding photos go beyond just looking great—they're a powerful investment for your business! These images can be used for commercial purposes, meaning they help drive revenue by promoting your products, services, or team in a professional and authentic way. This versatility is why branding sessions cost more—they're crafted to represent your business at its best and give you content that works across all platforms, making your brand not only memorable but profitable.

How much time is included in each session?

01.

When will we get our photos?

I want to ensure your session captures the essence of your experience without feeling rushed. It’s hard to tie 30 minutes to a set number of photos, so I’m happy to take as much time as needed. If we capture 70+ photos in 30 minutes, that’s fantastic! If it takes an hour to explore different spots and find the perfect angles, that’s perfectly fine too. Sessions are relaxed, but generally, all sessions are capped at a max of 2 hours. 

Throughout the session, I’ll keep you updated on when we’re approaching a great point to finish up.
